If
you own property which is used by the public, clients, or patrons, then
uniformed security is by far one of the best investments you can make for your
property. Creating a certain image for your business or institution is
important, and having uniformed security is one of the ways that you can help
the image of your business.

WHY UNIFORMED SECURITY
IS IMPORTANT

Although there
are definitely times and places where plainclothes security is essential, having a security in civilian attire will
not provide the essential visibility that is needed to ensure that visitors and
clients to your organization know that you have security on your premises. This
visibility factor is very important as it makes everyone in and around your
premises know that the grounds are protected.

As the
old saying goes “prevention is better than cure”, this is why with
security the emphasis should be on prevention of criminal
activity rather than apprehension of criminals. Having uniformed security is a good deterrence for potential criminal activity from
occurring on your property. When security officers wear uniforms, it
sends a clear message to potential criminals – my property is protected.

The image
factor of your company or organization comes into play again here – not only
will uniformed security instill a certain amount of respect for your business,
but it also adds to your company’s professionalism. A premises donning
uniformed security creates the image that this company has their “stuff
together”, so to speak. There is order and discipline, and the uniformed
security on your business premises is like a manicured lawn at home. It also
tells clients that you care about them, their belongings and their well-being.
Customer service can come in many forms and having uniformed security on your
premises is often an overlooked form of excellent customer service.

Uniformed
security helps new clients, residents, or patrons feel less lost on your
property. Often when people enter a new place and they see that there is a
uniformed security on duty, it helps them feel secure knowing that
there is a reference point that they can go to in the event that they need help
or get lost on the premises.

Everyone in
and around your premises will have a sense of pride with regards to your
company. Your employees and clients will know that you care about their safety
and well-being. The added advantage is that clients will assume that your
security personnel is provided by your company itself – people rarely consider
that there’s a middle man involved. So in your customers’ eyes you and
only you are providing them with visible security, making them feel proud to be
associated with your business.

Your property
will demand a higher sense of obedience from others, and will hold a higher
sense of authority. A uniform sends a powerful message to everyone, whether
it’s to persons who are being protected or to those who want to do harm. The
presence of a uniformed security will ensure that those who are on your
property, be they clients, residents, or visitors, will adhere to all
signs and rules which may be displayed on walls and gates. It will also create a
sense that the property is protected by a
“watchman”, which could result in littering and breaking of
rules being kept to a minimum. The visible uniform of the
security is like a parental presence which will never go away, thus
ensuring order and authority on your property from all concerned.

The impact of uniformed security personnel on the image
of your company, and the safety that it brings to everyone who visits your
premises, is priceless. Don’t get stuck without uniformed security
